'The Elder Scrolls Online' Update 11, Shadows of the Hist Dungeon Pack Details

by Rainier on June 28, 2016 @ 6:26 p.m. PDT

The Elder Scrolls Online is the first Elder Scrolls game to allow gamers to explore the legendary Elder Scrolls world with others.

Using ZeniMax Online’s Megaserver technology, players will join one connected world with a built in social network that lets them stay up-to-date with everything their friends are doing. Megaserver technology avoids the hassle of shard selection and makes The Elder Scrolls Online one of the most socially enabled games ever created.  Whether playing alone, or with hundreds of friends, players can develop their own style of play as they embark upon an epic quest across Tamriel.


Shadows of the Hist DLC Dungeon Pack Ccontent

The Shadows of the HistDLC Dungeon Pack—featuring two new four-player dungeons -- Ruins of Mazzatun and Cradle of Shadows -- will be accessible at no cost to players with an active ESO Plus membership. Otherwise, the DLC Dungeon Pack will be available for 1,500 crowns in the ESOCrown Store.

  • Cradle of Shadows: Players can join the Argonians of the Dark Brotherhood in their battle against rogue assassins threatening to hurl all of Black Marsh into bloody chaos. Cradle of Shadows is a four-player group dungeon featuring both Normal and Veteran modes, and features three new item sets, challenging new achievements with an appearance reward, and a new monster mask set.
  • Ruins of Mazzatun: In Ruins of Mazzatun, players will venture into the ruins of the "Puzzle City" of the Argonian Xit-Xaht tribe to overcome the slavelords and free their helpless victims. Ruins of Mazzatun is a 4-player group dungeon with Normal and Veteran modes, and features three new item sets, challenging new achievements with an appearance reward, and a new monster mask set.

The Style Parlor

With the highly anticipated Style Parlor, players can now purchaseAppearance Change and Race Change tokens in the Crown Store to alter their appearance in the game.

  • Appearance and Race Change (Crown Store): Players can purchase tokens in the Crown Store that will allow them to completely redefine their appearance, including but not limited to hair styles and colors, adornments, face and body markings, facial features, eye color, age, body and face shape, as well as selected voice.
  • Name Change (Crown Store): Players will now be able to change their name by purchasing a Name Change token in the Crown Store. Once purchased, players can use the Name Change token on the Character Select screen to change one character’s name.
  • Premium Hairstyles and New Adornments and Markings (Crown Store): A bounty of new hair styles, adornments, and markings have been added to the Crown Store. Players can purchase new items from the Appearance category. Once purchased, items can be used to change a character’s hair style, adornments, and markings as often as a player wishes.

Costume Dyes

  • ESO Plus Costume Dyes (Exclusive to ESO Plus): Anyone who has an active ESO Plus membership will have the ability to dye their equipped costume (and hats!) at any Dye Station using dyes unlocked via achievements. Applied dyes are saved separately for each character, so that the same costume or hat can be dyed differently for every one of your characters.
  •  Dye Stamps (Crown Store): One-time-use consumable Dye Stamps are available for purchase in the Crown Store for a modest price. Each Dye Stamp comes pre-loaded with a specific set of colors. One Dye Stamp can be applied to your active costume and hat—they are a one-use consumable item. New Dye Stamps will appear in the Crown Store every week.
